MAC makeup counter opening at Macy’s

It’s a new addition to the Macy’s cosmetics department and is not replacing any other brand.

The official opening is Saturday, Oct. 28. Customers can register at the MAC counter to win a $50 Macy’s gift card.

“As Sioux Falls’ beauty destination, it is so important for us to bring together brands that make our customers look and feel their best. We are thrilled to introduce MAC, an essential brand for so many beauty enthusiasts,” Macy’s general manager Lynn Otis said.

MAC is part of Estee Lauder Cos. and caters both to consumers and professional makeup artists.

Macy’s still is hiring many associates for the holiday season; Otis said. Applications can be dropped off in the store or completed at macysjobs.com. Seasonal employees also receive a 20 percent discount at Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s.

“Additionally, if any year-round positions open up during the holiday season, we’ll promote someone who is already on board in a temporary position,” Otis said. “In fact, many of our store and company leaders started in seasonal positions.”
